Art Students League of New York -
The Art Students League of New York is an art school founded in 1875.
Its creation came in response to both an anticipated gap in the program of the National Academy of Design's program of classes for that year, and longer-term desires for more variety and flexibility in education for artists.
When the Academy resumed a more typical, but liberalized, program, in 1877, there was some sentiment that the League had served its purpose, but its students voted to continue its program. It was incorporated in 1878. The American Fine Arts Building at 215 West 57th Street housed the group since 1892. From 1906 until 1922, and again after the end of World War II from 1947 until 1979, the League operated a summer school of painting at Woodstock, New York.
As of 2008, the League remains an important force in New York City art life.

National Academy of Design -
The National Academy of Design, in New York City, now called simply, The National Academy, is an honorary association of American artists, with a museum and a school of fine arts.
It was founded in 1825 by Samuel F. B. Morse, Asher B. Durand, Thomas Cole, and others “to promote the fine arts in America through instruction and exhibition”.
The academy houses a public collection of over five thousand works of nineteenth and twentieth century American art.
It has had several homes over the years. Notably among them, in a building built during 1863-1865, of Gothic Revival style that was modeled on the Doge's Palace in Venice. Since 1942 the academy has occupied a mansion that was the former home of sculptor Anna Hyatt Huntington and Archer Milton Huntington at Fifth Avenue and Eighty-ninth Street.
The school offers studio instruction, master classes, intensive critiques, various workshops, and lunchtime lectures. Scholarships are available.
History:
The original founders of the National Academy of Design were students of the American Academy of Fine Arts. However, by 1825 the students of the Academy felt a lack of support for teaching from the Academy, its board composed of merchants, lawyers, and physicians, and from its unsympathetic president, the famous American Revolutionary War artist Colonel John Trumbull. Samuel F. B. Morse and other students set about forming the drawing association to meet several times each week for the study the art of design. Still, the association was viewed as a dependent organization of the Academy, from which they felt neglected. An attempt was made to reconcile the difference and maintain a single academy by appointing six of the artists from the association as directors of the Academy, however, when four of the nominees were not elected, the frustrated artists resolved to form a new academy and the National Academy of Design was born.[1]
